      Did some quick reading on this. A few articles linked back to Belgian news site 7sur7, so I’m referencing that article here:

      • The group who did this was Stop Arming Israel, not Palestine Action.
      • They targeted OIP Land Systems because they’re a subsidiary of Elbit Systems, who are a major manufacturer of weapons sold to Israel.
      • OIP used to sell military vehicles to Israel, but haven’t for a couple of decades.
      • The result was a one-month delay in delivering the vehicle shipment to Ukraine.
      • The CEO described the activists as “sympathisants du Hamas”, which personally makes me mistrust anything else he says.

      I don’t mean to condone the damage they did - Ukraine needs all it can get - but it would be easy to read your message and think they’d deliberately taken action to hurt the Ukraine defence effort by raiding a company unconnected with Israel’s genocide.
